Why 6 digits?
HSIC subclasses are 6 digits. The first four match the international ISIC class; Hong Kong adds a two-digit local suffix for finer detail, especially across its import and export trade, so a code steps from a 4-digit class straight to a 6-digit subclass. More on the HSIC structure.
This activity involves providing instruction in yoga and gymnastics, including various forms of physical exercise and training. It encompasses teaching techniques for improving strength, flexibility, and overall physical fitness through structured classes and personal training sessions.

Offshore profits claim feasibility
LowYoga and gymnastics instruction typically requires physical presence in Hong Kong to conduct classes. Contracts are often negotiated and concluded locally, and services are primarily delivered to Hong Kong residents, making it difficult to qualify for offshore treatment.
